LITTLE GEM LETTUCE MIX, ORGANIC 250seeds Hudson
Best reliable organic seeds for home gardeners seeking delicious, easy to grow lettuce.
Small vegetables are not just for small gardens. They are, in fact, for all who enjoy exceptional eating. Little fingerling potatoes have a texture and flavor unmatched by any larger roots; slender, diminutive French beans simply melt in the mouth; and these tiny lettuce heads, maxing out at about 8" in diameter, deliver delicate texture and sweetness rarely seen in giant heads. They are also charming in the garden: their compact, tidy forms contribute an air of formality and neatness, especially when laid out in a grid. Cut into wedges at the mature-head stage, they make stunning, glimmering salads.
